the TINGenerator outputs 3-dimensional points, lines and polygons. A great number of the output formats (writers) in FME support these basic geometry types.
What are your requirements for the final output?

The goal is to transform a LiDAR file in a TIN file with FME and then store it in Oracle.
Thx.
Refer to the target application requirements to see if you need all the geometries or if just the polygons suffice.
David
+2- Your point cloud data is already stored in Oracle
- The amount of data is relatively large/huge
- You need to repeat the TIN processing on a regular basis

Hi David,
I wonder if u can help me
I do have a large point cloud; more than 11,800,000 points, and I want to generate 3D TIN for it using FME TINGenerator transformer
Can u advise the best way to do so? I tried a lot and I was not successful.
Also, it is really important for me to visualize my results in 3D in color, so what is the best software u recommend to visualize my writer/outpout 3D TIN ?
Also, I tried Raster (since, I m really after the triangulation)!
My final target is visualizing my point cloud in 3D TIN in color.

Hi @heikal could you maybe create a new question for this, I think that would make it easier to keep track of things. If you do, please also be a bit more specific as to what's happening. Does the TinGenerator not output anything at all, or not what you expected?

Hi,
Tin related object types.

According to the FME Readers and writer bible section
Oracle Spatial Relational Writer Parameters :"Oracle Spatial directly supports composite surfaces, 3D polygons and rectangles. Writing of 3D surfaces and solids is available only for Oracle 11g. If the Oracle Spatial writer detects a version of Oracle Database older than version 11g, surface features will automatically be downgraded to a 2D representation prior to writing."
Suggesting that it can write a TIN surface.
@heikal
You can directly connect the pointcloud to the point/lines inputport and have it generate a TIN.
You can write TIN to autocad as wel and view it, to a couple of mil point-Tin wil have Autocad running into fits..lol.
